Austin Resource Recovery provides bundled services to manage your trash, recycling and yard trimmings. Save money on your utility bill by recycling as much as possible, setting aside yard trimmings for composting collection, and choosing a smaller trash cart. Costs are based on your trash cart size. We offer four trash cart sizes; choose the size that best fits your household’s needs. Learn more about pricing and size options. Administrative Rules require that each household have a 96-gallon trash cart before requesting an additional cart. The City also requires that customers have the same capacity for recycling as you do for trash. To change your cart size, call 311 or 512-494-9400.

Put yard trimmings in bio-degradable 30-gallon lawn-and-leaf kraft paper bags or a reusable container that is no larger than 34-gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds. Yard trash is most frequently disposed of in lawn-and-leaf kraft paper bags available at most all major retail stores (such as HEB, Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, Sam's Club…) or 34-gallon trash container available at many hardware stores (such as Home Depot, Lowes…).

It is important to note that when you are allowed to place yard trimmings on the street depends on the receptacle. Although not collected until Wednesday, you may place yard trimmings placed in lawn-and-leaf kraft paper bags starting Saturday at 6am. Yard trimmings placed in a plastic 34-gallon trash container must not be placed earlier than 8pm the day before collection (similar to regular trash and recycling). Please note that the 34-gallon trash container must be removed no later than 8pm the day of collection. The allowance for lawn-and-leaf kraft paper bags being placed out early is to accommodate anytime (typically in the Spring and Fall) a significant number of leaves need to be collected.
